Greeted by Enormous Crowds Everywhere
Speeches the Coercion Bill.
LONDON, June 7.-Mr. Gladstone reached
Dolishin on his return journey from Wales at
Clio o'clock this evening. He was much fatieued
by his journey and its attendant oratorical eff
forts, he having spoken at Newport, Gloster
Swin6on and Keinbie, each of which towns
large crowds turned out to greet him. He con-
fined his remarks to the Irish question, and at
tributed the delay in advancing the crimes bill
in the House of Commons to the pugnacity of
Mr.. Balfour.
At Newport an enormous crowd gathered at
the station to greet him. and in spite of the dep
precatory gestures of the ex-Premier and the
assurance that he was thoroughly tagged out,
demanded speech Mr.. Gladstone complied
with their calls, and IN the course of his remarks
challenged the government to facilitate the pass
age of the coercion bill by giving to combina
tions of Irishmen the same protection it afforded
and abandoning it's insulting proposals to make
coercion in Ireland permanent
At Swindon, Mr. Gladstone invited his oppo-
nents to follow the example of Wellington and
Disraeli, and propose themselves what the coun-
try needed instead of making proposals to be
modified beyond recognition by the opposition.
If they would do this he would promise them
the earnest support of the Liberal party.
The heat throughout the journey was intense,
and many persons tainted in the crusheS at the
different stations whore the train halted.

Ireland, in reply to question by Mr.. Dillon re-

in evctons Clare island, declared the gov
ernment would not hesitate to employ any of
the forces at its disposal to execute decisions of
the law courts.
Rt Hon. w. Fl. Smith. in reply to question
by MIR. Robertson, stated that the government
was unable to inform the House what measures,
besides the crimes act it would proceed with.
The progress made with that bill was not sufi-
cient to enable him to anticipate when the
measure would pass. Possibly it might be his
duty, but he hoped it would not. to take meas
ures to expedite public business. He refused to
! disclose the nature of the measure.
Mr.. O'Doherty having moved q amendment to
the crimes bill Mr. Parnell interposed saying
that owing to the advanced stage of the session
and the large number Of important matters not
yet debated. he would suggest that his friends
move only such amendments they regarded
indispensable. 1t was obvious, he added, tha:
time would not permit discussion of smaller
points.
Mr. O'Doherty thereupon withdrew hisamend-
ment.

the name of the Parnellites, not moved

DUBLIN, June7-The evictions at Bodyke were
continued to-day. Tenant Mcnamara who was
behind in his rent, defended his house. but the
bailiffs broke a hole in the wall. Logs and boil
ing water were throw through the hole at the
evictipg forcs. A policeman who was holding
the colonels umbrella dashed through the open
ing made by the bailifs. and other officers fol-
lowed him. A fight ensued and the tenants
evicted and afterwards arrested The
bailiffs charge the tenants with having thrown
vitriol upon them. but this is denied. A tenant
named Murphy made similar resistance against
eviction from his building
At the regular fortnightly meeting of the
National League, held here, the consensus of
opinion OF those present was that the course Of
Mr. Davitt in advising the tenants to resist evic-
tion by every means in their power was not
wise. Mr.. Timothy Harrington, secretary of
the League, announced that the organizing
council would implors the tenants not to allow
anything to drive them to violence which would
be to play into the enemys hands. Mr. Har
